I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
Mar 26, 2023 - Day 85 - NewPlay Bonus Review
Total NewPlays: 91
Game: Lost Castle
Platform: Steam PC
Release Date: Sep 1, 2016
Library Date: Mar 12, 2018
Unplayed: 1840 days (5y14d)
Playtime: 20m
There are some games, that when I play them for the first time, I'm terribly disappointed to discover something that I have missed in my library that I could have been enjoying all this time.
Lost Castle is not one of those games.
It's a 2.5D "action RPG" with roguelike elements. Apparently the devs looked at the table of roguelike elements, scooped up a bunch, looked at "fun" and went "Nahhhh".
Repetitive mobs, repetitive soundtrack, 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
